We don't have any senors or anything making the motors run at a constant speed. We have two buttons, one to bring the launcher back and one to send it forward. The bottom of the mouth acts as a hard stop so that does give us some consistency. Our launcher isn't as consistent as it could be. We decided to leave that up to other teams to figure out.
